Lyrics

Well my baby left me this morning As the clock was striking four The sweet smiling face of my darling I may never see any more
I know what it means to be lonesome And I know what it means to be blue I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams When there is no one at home for you
Well I’ve cried and I’ve cried since we parted No one knows what I have been through You know I’d give all I own just to have you back home I’m lonesome, lonesome for you
